UK British News Megathread - aka CWCissey's news thread

https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

If that's the overspend, what is the total spend? Must be over £10billion. Truely insane numbers.

Even more insane is to know that the government increased the retirement age of women to 66 and won't pay compensation to those who missed out and should have retired at 60, because it would cost the government £10 billion.

Your mothers and aunts have had the pension rug pulled from them and the money the government was meant to save has gone straight to amir so he can rape and kill our daughters.

Don't mention that though, or God-forbid say anything on social media, or you'll be banged up for 24 months.

That’s the worst thing in all of this. Knowing you can post info made public by the goverment pointing that out and they will come after you.

They pulled the same shit with covid. Couldn’t use their own published data to prove what they were claiming was actually bs.

They do that constantly. Release the actual information, lie about it and when you go to them saying they told people stuff they’ll point you to the correct stuff and say they were always telling the truth.

It is frustrating.

You're always around in UK threads banging this drum. Number one advocate for women avoiding the consequence of equality they demanded. Weird.

You're retarded if you think this about women. It's about the government getting away with rug-pulling pensions, or whatever they want, without blow-back or consequences, while openly flaunting that the money they refuse to pay to those who have contributed for 40+ years, is going to some boatpaki and infinitynigger immigrant.

But sure, overlook the massive fuck you and disdain the government has for the natives and make this about muh women.

Be careful typing such misogynistic words though, because ytvette cooper has just made misogyny an extremist crime.

West Wales neo-Nazi jailed for almost a decade for terrorism offences​

You'd think he was planning a terror attack? Wrong. He reshared National Action propaganda. 10 years for what amounts to sharing skullmask memes. Absolute clownworld.

Fuck the Jews. Is his surname pronounced "White"? A bit on the nose.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

I realise my issue with.all this.

It’s that we’ve had the tools to block and remove all this stuff for decades but people never use them. They are baked into the very fabric of computers and the internet.

And yet we have to jail everyone for some reason.

Jailing these two will work about as well jailing some jihadi. It serves nothing more than to strengthen whatever beliefs system they have. What happened with the BNP proved time and again that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Let them scream like an old man into the sky and people will either laugh at the spectacle or simply ignore them but sure stick them in jail because that's worked so well every other time someone did it.

Doesn't Nick Griffin identify as anti-fascist these days? He eulogized some dead communists in Twitter and supports the "denazification". Absolutely bonkers.

He's very active on telegram. He seems consistent to his beliefs from the 90s while trying to be an alternative news channel.

And now he's in prison he can radicalize other disaffected men. Big-brain work there from the CPS.

Well, he's openly anti-semitic now, which he surprisingly wasn't when he was in public life. This is a major difference between him and Tommy Robinson.

The one thing I am keeping an eye on is the developing DWP crisis. The union who represents staff there are the only real ones reporting this issue.

I luckily found the document and will extrapolate any scandalous details in a subsequent post. The media barely reported this btw.

The report was taken from the most damning of over 700 reports and staff are saying there is a 30,000 staff shortage.

25% of staff living below the real living wage line.

Spoiler: testimonies

Its absolutely brutal and bare in mind 30,000 employee shortage on top of growing migrants that will use this system adding 000's monthly. As of November there were 5.72 people on Universal credit and this also counts part timers as well. 12.7 million are on pensions too which this is covered by. My curiosity of this was due to this having an affect on hospital intakes on the UK probably suicidal and this in turn will affect NHS staff and students because suicides and successful ones have an enormous toll on mental strain which is already pretty bad. Migrant nurses actually add pressure to existing native staff because they fuck up so much and way more than students. DWP case managers salary is 21k - 24k absolutely poultry a new grad nurse is only on 29k too, gee I wonder why these systems are both collapsing.

I cannot even calculate what happens when these 2 systems collapse because they will. The public push back will be unfathomable. This report was published in April this year and carried out last year and the media not reporting it probably hints it at being worse.

Don’t believe a fucking thing unions tell you. They want every organisation staffed like the Indian railways as it means more subs for the unions, meaning more non-jobs for the boys, and more no show jobs for Labour MPs.

They are a bunch of work shy commies who need to get out of the public sector except they’d rope themselves at the first bit of hard work they’d have to do.

If you are in a union you’re either part of the problem or directly paying Soros agents to fuck the country.

The other half of the uniparty not currently in power will swear they're going to fix it and then.. promptly fuck off with all the money in their arse pocket and blame the other half of the uniparty for not fixing it once they're kicked out of government for not fixing it, when it was their primary election promise.

Same thing that always happens.

I think Angela is doing a coup come Christmas.

Are we still doing this? The GE will be in five years time. The fact he's utterly shit at his job has no bearing on the fact he has the confidence of Parliament. And Labour, as we saw with Gordon Brown, lack the balls to get rid of bad leaders.
We're in it for the long haul, lads.

5 years of "but the tories" despite most of the problems we face now were given to the tories by Blair.

That's not a given. Labour is fractured, even though it doesn't look it at the moment. Rayner will coup him at some point, and that will bring the party's civil war out into the open. This government will not make it to 5 years.
